I think Serbia may be more likely. If both Germany and Serbia win as probably expected, then Serbia would have to overcome Germany's 3 goal advantage in goal differential to win the Group. My guess is that we'll get Serbia and England will get Germany.

I wouldn't assume Serbia is going to win. Yes, they beat Germany 1-0, but Germany played more than half the game a man down.

I got callaloo (amaranth) in my CSA haul this week. Anyone know how to use it?

(I also got approximately three million zucchini, but those I at least know how to cook and what they taste like.)

And they should use vanilla flavored tea or a syrup

But if they used vanilla flavoured tea I couldn't get Earl Grey one morning and English Breakfast another and Chai on Wednesday. Because they're really not going to have vanilla flavours of every single tea they make. So I vote no. Also, what difference would syrup make over powder?

The naming would clear things up, I agree.

Also, Australia's tie with Ghana was also a game where the socceroos played a man down for more than half the game.

THROW IT AWAY.

Or use it like collard greens. Assuming it's what we call callaloo in Jamaica. I think we prep it identically to every way I've ever had collard greens--with pig flavouring.

Is that a powder?

with pig flavouring.

Oooh, thanks for reminding me I've got already cooked bacon in the fridge. My breakfast sandwich just got tastier.

That's true. I was thinking Australia was eliminated for some reason and wouldn't be playing very hard. But a quick look shows that they are still in it, very much so with a loss by Germany. Group D is more open than I was thinking.

Happy Birthday, Teppy! May your busy week go smoothly, and your upcoming vacation be as fab as you are.

I think the other way is hard too, though. When I'm in wet, my skin and hair are so much happier and it's so much easier to breath (believe it or not!) God bless humidification

My trip to Phoenix a few years ago was ROUGH. I felt desiccated the whole time. I am a delicate tropical flower, y'all.

I don't know if I've ever smelled orange blossoms -- at least in the wild, so to speak.

Gah, I was lucky enough to be in Athens, Greece, one spring. AMAZING.

Joss' birthday! Oh crap. ::searches:: Yep, my local Can't Stop the Serenity is sold out. Poop. I missed it last year, too.

I have tried to show Chloe pictures of your B-Boy in your e-mail newsletter

Ooo! How did I not know you have a newsletter? I want on! Do I sign up on your website?

I think the U.S. ends as the top team in the group edging out England.

It's so weird that we don't totally suck anymore. But cool!

Lapsang souchong has a dark, smoky flavor which is kinda sorta espresso-y.

I lurve Lapsang souchong in the winter.

Wikipedia tells me that callaloo is a Trinidadian side dish made with amaranth, so it's probably the same veg you're thinking of, ita. Treat it like collards sounds good. Thanks!
